Literacy and reading

Reading that unlocks everything else

Literacy comes first. We assess reading early, intervene quickly and build vocabulary and oracy across the curriculum.

Reading strategy

How we strengthen literacy

Reading strategy

Every young person has a reading baseline. Teaching then targets fluency, comprehension and confidence.

Reading intervention

Learners who need more help receive targeted support in small groups or with a Key Adult, reviewed regularly.

Vocabulary

Subject teachers and mentors teach key words explicitly so young people can understand and use academic language.

Oracy

Discussion, presentation and structured talk build speaking confidence for school, interviews and adult life.

Reading culture

We promote reading for purpose and enjoyment, celebrating progress so literacy feels possible again.

Why this matters here

Many young people arrive after disrupted schooling. When reading improves, access to every other subject improves with it.

Literacy goals sit inside the personal plan and are shared with families and commissioning partners as appropriate.
